Introduction This report is the sixteenth annual summary of Indiana’s solid waste facility data. It is intended to provide information about Indiana’s solid waste management. The report provides solid waste facility information for 2007 and contains:

a summary of existing solid waste facilities;

a summary of the amount, origin, and types of solid waste received at land disposal facilities and processing facilities; and

a summary of out-of- state waste imports.

This report was compiled from the solid waste facility quarterly reports submitted to IDEM by owners and operators of facilities that manage non-hazardous solid waste. Rules passed by the Solid Waste Management Board require all solid waste land disposal facilities (329 IAC 10-14-1) and processing facilities (329 IAC 11-14-1) to submit information to IDEM on a quarterly basis describing the origin, type, and amount of solid waste received by these facilities. Processing facilities must also report the amounts and destinations of waste transported off-site for recovery or disposal. Reports submitted to IDEM are on file and available for public review. This report emphasizes graphs, tables, and figures. Discussion text is included only as necessary to guide the reader through the report and to provide a context for the graphs and tables. Several sections that were included in previous releases of this report are not present in this year’s report. Much of the information in these sections has been duplicated from year to year and/or is available in other IDEM publications. Table 1 shows how to obtain this information in addition to other information that may interest readers of this report.

Previous reports summarized municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill capacity from amounts reported by facilities or from estimates made by IDEM. Beginning in 1996, landfills were required by regulation to submit contour maps annually based on

surveys conducted between October 1 and December 31 of each year. IDEM uses this information to calculate accurate and precise totals for both airspace and waste capacity. Beginning in 2007, landfills are now required to conduct surveys between December 1 and March 31, and submit the maps to IDEM June 15. This information can be found beginning on page 37.

Prior to 1996, facilities reported non-municipal waste only as Construction-Demolition Waste and Special/Other Waste. In 1996, IDEM added categories for Special Waste, which included Foundry Wastes and Other Special Wastes, for Coal Ash, and for Flue Gas Desulfurization by-products. Legislation enacted since the beginning of the period covered by the 2000 Summary of Indiana Solid Waste Facility Data report eliminated Special Waste as a classification. To reflect this, Foundry Wastes, which was previously under Special Waste, is retained as a separate category under its own name. Other Special Wastes is no longer a separate sub-category. Any waste previously classified as Special Waste or Industrial Waste that does not fit any of the existing available categories is reported now under the category Other Waste. Coal Ash and Flue Gas Desulfurization are retained as classifications. Because of the changes in classification types through the years covered by the 2007 Summary of Indiana Solid Waste Facility Data report, information for disposal by waste type by year will continue to be grouped as municipal waste and non-municipal waste to make comparisons among years meaningful.

Solid Waste Data Framework Several factors must be considered when discussing solid waste disposal in Indiana:

type and quantity of the waste disposed; type and ownership of the facility that

received the waste; and origin of the waste received.

The following pages give an overview of key concepts necessary for understanding solid waste disposal data. Solid Waste Types Solid waste can be categorized broadly as either hazardous waste or non-hazardous waste. This report deals only with non-hazardous waste, which can be further broken down into municipal solid waste and all other non-hazardous solid waste. Municipal solid waste, or MSW, is any solid waste generated by community activities or the operation of residential or commercial establishments (329 IAC 10-2-115). Prior to 1996, non-hazardous waste that is not MSW was subdivided into construction-demolition debris, special waste, and other non-municipal waste types. In 1996, the categories foundry, coal ash, and flue gas desulfurization (FGD) waste were added to provide more detailed waste information. Legislation enacted since the beginning of the period covered by the 2000 Summary of Indiana Solid Waste Facility Data report eliminated Special Waste as a classification, as discussed in the Introduction to this report. Figure 1 shows the current solid waste categories. Table 2 provides more detailed explanations of these waste types.

Solid Waste Facilities Solid waste facilities in Indiana fall into two broad permit categories: land disposal facilities and processing facilities. Land disposal facilities are subdivided further into four types: municipal solid waste landfills, construction-demolition sites, restricted waste sites (types 1 through 4), and non-municipal solid waste landfills. Solid waste processing facilities permitted by IDEM can be incinerators, transfer stations, solid waste balers, solid waste shredders, resource recovery systems, or garbage grinding facilities (329 IAC 11-2-43). Table 3 summarizes the number of permitted solid waste facilities that submitted data reports to IDEM during 2007. Table 4 describes the types of waste each facility type may receive.

Land Disposal Facilities

Municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs) can accept a wide range of solid wastes disposed from residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial sources, except hazardous waste regulated under 329 IAC 3.1. Of the four landfill types, only MSWLFs can accept municipal solid wastes (Table 4). Construction-demolition sites accept only construction or demolition waste materials (329 IAC 10-9-3).

(1) Incinerators designed to accept less than 10 tons per day (329 IAC 11-19-2). (2) Incinerators designed to accept less than 7 tons per day (329 IAC 11-19-2).


Restricted waste sites can accept only materials specified in their landfill permits as determined by the classification criteria in 329 IAC 10-9-4. Coal combustion by-products comprise the largest portion of the waste tonnage disposed at restricted waste sites. Like restricted waste sites, non-municipal solid waste landfills can accept only materials specified in their landfill permits. But non-municipal solid waste landfills have more stringent design standards than restricted waste sites. Most of Indiana’s non-municipal solid waste landfills are currently captive facilities and therefore, are not available for public use. In addition to the facility standards discussed here, each individual site may dispose of other materials not included in the above definitions according to its permit.

Processing Facilities

The term incinerator is defined broadly as an engineered facility designed to burn solid waste under controlled conditions. As Table 4 shows, incinerators in Indiana are categorized and regulated as either solid waste incinerators or infectious waste incinerators. Solid waste incinerators with a design capacity of at least 10 tons per day and infectious waste incinerators with a design capacity of at least 7 tons per day must obtain a solid waste permit under Indiana solid waste rules 329 IAC 11-9 and 329 IAC 11-17. Other incinerators must notify IDEM and comply with certain operational requirements as stated in 329 IAC 11-19-2 and are deemed to be permitted. Although incinerators are permitted and regulated under the category of processing facilities, they are considered to be final disposal facilities for planning and disposal fee purposes, as evident in statutory language. The disposal reduction goal language of P.L. 10-1990 also categorizes incineration as a final disposal method. A transfer station is a facility at which solid waste is transferred from a vehicle or container to another vehicle or container for transportation purposes (329 IAC 11-2-47). Transfer stations may manage

materials in other ways according to their individual permits. For example, activities at a permitted transfer station may involve only the consolidation of waste loads for further transport, or may also incorporate some form of materials recovery, during which recyclables are segregated for recycling or reuse. Tire, paper, and medical waste processing sites also are defined as processing facilities by statute. In 2007, nine processing facilities were in operation during the year.

Accuracy of Facility Reports

IDEM conservatively estimates that municipal solid waste tonnages may be over-reported by 20 to 40 percent due to some loads of municipal solid waste being mixed with non-municipal solid waste but identified only as municipal solid waste. According to studies in other states, construction-demolition wastes alone can constitute as much as one-third of municipal solid waste. The portion of municipal solid waste that is actually other non-municipal waste is unknown. Because of these uncertainties, caution should be used when attempting to draw conclusions regarding exact amounts of particular waste types.


Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Ownership

Since the facility quarterly report program began in 1991, more of Indiana MSW landfills have been owned privately than owned publicly (Table 3). Figure 2 shows the percentages of private and public ownership of MSW landfills in 2007. Most construction-demolition sites and restricted waste sites are privately owned. About seventy-seven percent of Indiana’s transfer stations and other permitted processing facilities are privately owned. Figure 2. Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Ownership by Percent During 2007

Public29%

Private71%

Note: For 2007, there are 10 publicly owned facilities and 25 privately owned facilities.

Origin of Waste Origin of waste can be broken down by state and by county. A discussion of out-of-state waste is provided beginning on page 28. Determination of the point of origin of waste by county is difficult due to the manner in which waste is collected and transported to landfills. Waste collection vehicles may transport the waste directly to a landfill and the hauler will report to the landfill operator the county of origin. If the waste collection routes include more than one county as points of origin, the hauler is required to report an estimated percentage of waste for each county to the landfill owner/operator. Furthermore, IDEM guidance instructs land disposal facilities to list the origin of waste received from transfer stations as the county in which the transfer station is located. The extent to which this actually occurs, however, is unknown. Some waste collection vehicles transport waste to a transfer station, where the hauler is required to report the county (or counties) of origin. The waste received at the transfer station may be commingled with waste from other waste collection vehicles. All or part of the commingled waste may then go to one or more landfills, incinerators, transfer stations, or recycling/processing facilities, where the origin typically is reported as being the county in which the transfer station is located. Figure 3 illustrates the variety of paths that waste can take after it is collected. In summary, the county identified on some quarterly reports may not be the point of origin, but in fact a transfer point for the waste before it is delivered to the landfill. Table 5 lists estimated amounts disposed at Indiana facilities by county of origin.

It does not include waste disposed out-of-state, which explains the low amounts reported for counties near state lines. 1997 and 1998 data can be viewed in the 2005 and 2006 solid waste annual reports, respectively.


Solid Waste Land Disposal Facilities The data in this annual summary reflect the information provided in the solid waste facility quarterly reports submitted to IDEM. There may be some differences between the numbers published in this summary report and previously published annual reports. These differences are due primarily to improvements in the data quality checks made by IDEM Office of Land Quality. Table 6 displays the amount of solid waste disposed at Indiana land disposal facilities by each reported waste type during 2007. Figure 4 displays this information by landfill type, and Figure 5 by waste Figure 4. Disposal of Solid Waste by Landfill Type During 2007

Table 7 displays totals of solid waste disposed at Indiana land disposal facilities from 1999 through 2007 for municipal waste and all other waste types grouped as non-municipal waste. Table 8 shows the same information as Table 7 but excludes direct imports to Indiana landfills. Due to reporting limitations, waste originating outside Indiana that is brought into the state through an in-state transfer station and disposed in an Indiana landfill cannot be excluded from the quantities in Table 8. Figure 6 shows the municipal waste, non-municipal waste, and total disposal figures for all landfills in Tables 7 and 8 in graph form to more clearly depict disposal trends year-to-year. Waste received at solid waste incinerators is discussed on page 25 in the chapter on processing facilities.

Municipal Solid Waste Landfills Most questions about land disposal facilities deal primarily with municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. MSW landfills receive waste materials from residences, businesses, institutions, and industries. As a result of the wide range of waste types these landfills receive, they are built to more stringent landfill design criteria than, for example, a construction-demolition site that accepts only construction-demolition wastes. Figure 7 breaks down the amounts disposed at MSW landfills by waste type shown in Table 6 as a percentage of total.

Construction-Demolition Sites

Construction-demolition sites receive only construction and demolition waste as described in Table 2. As shown in Figure 11, these sites did not receive a significant amount of out-of-state waste until 1996, when the amount of out-of-state waste increased from 5 to 36 percent of total receipts. Percentages of out-of-state waste received by construction-demolition sites returned to their pre-1996 levels in 2000 and 2001 but increased again thereafter. Table 10 provides a listing of the construction-demolition landfills and the total amount of waste each facility received in 2007. In 2004 the total disposal at the Lake County C/D Site increased significantly from the previous year, increasing the total annual disposal at Construction-Demolition Sites (Figure 11). A total of 223,521 tons was disposed at this site in 2004, originating from Cook County, Illinois where there was a landfill closing at the end of 2003. Figure 11.

Restricted waste sites also receive a limited range of wastes, as specified in their facility permits. Most sites are ash, sludge, or foundry monofills. Coal combustion wastes from power plants accounted for 37 percent of the total tonnage disposed at restricted waste sites in 2007. Since 1996, coal combustion wastes have been reported as individual waste types on the solid waste facility quarterly reports. Before 1996, the amount of coal-related wastes disposed

was estimated based on the amount of waste received at specific types of restricted waste sites related to coal combustion. In 2006, Gibson Station’s waste intake decreased due to beneficial reuse of materials that was used in the construction of a new landfill. This decrease is also reflected in the total for Gibson County of waste disposed in Indiana (Table 5). In 2007, the intake has increased back to near the level of 2005.

The total waste disposed each year in restricted waste sites is much larger than the amount received at construction-demolition sites, although not as large as the amount of waste received by municipal solid waste landfills (Figure 4).

No restricted waste sites have reported receiving out-of-state waste since 1991. Table 11 provides a listing of the restricted waste sites and the total amount of waste each facility received during 2007.

Non-municipal Solid Waste Landfills

The 1996 rules introduced the terms municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill and non-municipal solid waste (Non-MSW) landfill, which have been used throughout this report. In previous reports, Non-MSW landfills were grouped with MSW landfills under the general heading of “sanitary landfills.” MSW landfills were discussed earlier in this section.

Historically there have been only a few Non-MSW landfills in Indiana, all captive facilities, not available for public use. Non-MSW landfills receive any type of waste described in Table 2 except MSW, pursuant to the specifications of their permits. Table 12 provides a detail of the Non-MSW landfill operating in 2007 and the total amount of waste it received.

Solid Waste Processing Facilities Solid waste processing facilities include:

solid waste incinerators; transfer stations; and other processing facilities.

Table 13 displays the amount of solid waste received by permitted Indiana incinerators (excluding small-capacity incinerators) and transfer stations by each reported waste type during 2007. Table 14 displays similar information from 1999 through 2007 for municipal and non-municipal waste. More detailed data for all solid waste processing facilities is provided in a separate report entitled “2007 Solid Waste Facility Profiles.” Other processing facilities are discussed later in this section.

Solid Waste Incinerators For reporting and permitting purposes, solid waste incinerators are regarded as processing facilities. For solid waste planning and fee purposes, incinerators are considered final disposal facilities. Table 15 provides a list of the permitted solid waste incinerators that operated in 2007 and the total amount of solid waste received by these facilities. The list does not include the small-capacity incinerators in Indiana that are not required to report to IDEM.

Annually, Covanta Energy Indianapolis Resource Recovery Facility receives roughly four percent of the total tonnage of waste either land disposed or incinerated in Indiana. From the waste received by Covanta during 2007, there was about 165,400 tons of ash produced and delivered to the Southside Landfill for disposal. The ash produced is equivalent to about 27 percent of the waste received at Covanta.

(1) General Electric Ultem Thermal Oxidizer System did not accept any waste in 2007.


Transfer Stations Transfer stations are facilities that allow waste from individual collection vehicles to be offloaded and then reloaded into larger vehicles for transport to final disposal facilities. Some transfer stations recover recyclable materials and send them to processing or recycling facilities. The accountability for differences in incoming and outgoing waste at transfer stations has improved over the years. Although for the first few years of quarterly reporting there was no mechanism to track such differences, reporting forms were improved to include materials recovery. Facilities are also required to submit written explanations if the difference between incoming and outgoing tonnage totals is due to a reason other than materials recovery. In most instances, these differences are the result of materials recovery or differences in volume-to-tons conversions. As discussed on page 11, it is difficult to track the true origin of waste. Waste collection vehicles may

Figure 13. Transfer Station Waste Management transport their waste directly to a landfill or they may take it to a transfer station. A landfill receiving waste from a transfer station documents it as originating from the county in which the transfer station is located, regardless of whether any of the waste was generated in that county. The issue is further complicated when the transfer station receives waste from two or more counties, mixes the loads in a central location, removes various recyclables, then transports the waste to two or more landfills, another transfer station and/or a recycling facility. Figure 13 illustrates how the tonnage received from the counties may be known, but the waste sent for final disposal or processing may not directly identify the point of origin.

much waste was received from each county;

recyclables may be removed and sent to a

processing/recycling facility; remaining waste is sent to a

landfill or incinerator for final disposal, either in Indiana or in another

state.


Quarterly reports from transfer stations currently provide the only source of systematic information on the amount of waste exported by Indiana. Table 16 shows the amount of waste sent out-of-state from transfer stations as compared with the amount of waste sent to Indiana final disposal facilities from 1999 to 2007. Figure 14 shows a more detailed breakdown of the destination information for 2007. This information does not provide a complete picture of Indiana waste exports because the totals in Table 16 are based only on information obtained from processing facility quarterly reports. The amount of waste hauled directly from an Indiana residence or business to an out-of-state destination is not adequately known due to reporting limitations. More detailed data for transfer stations is given in a separate report entitled “2007 Solid Waste Facility Profiles.”

Other Processing Facilities Other processing facilities permitted by IDEM could include paper and medical waste processing facilities. Nine of the facilities operating during 2007 are classified under this category. In this report, these nine facilities are included with the transfer stations. IDEM issues permits to any solid waste processing facility upon which is located a solid waste incinerator, transfer station, solid waste baler, solid waste shredder, resource recovery system, or garbage grinding facility (as defined in 329 IAC 11-2-43, unless excluded by 329 IAC 11-3-1).

Out-of-State Waste Solid waste imported from out-of-state sources can be received at landfills, incinerators, or transfer stations. Historically, the predominant states of origin for solid waste imports have been the four states contiguous to Indiana (Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Kentucky). Out-of-state waste received by Indiana facilities increased by 32 percent from 1996 to 1998 to their highest level since totals were reported (over 2.7 million tons). In 1999, out-of-state waste receipts decreased by about one million tons and stayed steady through 2002. In 2003, out-of-state waste decreased again, accounting for 9 percent of the waste disposed at all of Indiana’s disposal facilities and 13 percent of the waste disposed in MSW landfills.

In 2004, waste imports increased, accounting for 18 percent of the waste disposed at all of Indiana’s disposal facilities and 25 percent of the waste disposed in MSW landfills. This was more than double the 2003 imports. The increase was determined to be due to a landfill that closed at the end of 2003 in Cook County, Illinois. In 2005, waste imports increased again, bring the total to a new all time high. 2006 marks the first occurrence of waste imported from Canada. Indiana imported a total of 28 tons of waste from Canada in 2006. In 2007 Indiana imported a total of 27 tons from Canada.

(1) About 9,333 tons were sent back to out-of-state facilities by Indiana transfer stations.


Table 17 details the state origin and amount of out-of-state waste received at Indiana solid waste facilities during 2007. Figure 16 shows this information from 1999 through 2007. Illinois has been historically the largest source of waste imported to Indiana. In 2007, Illinois waste accounted for 83 percent of the out-of-state waste received by Indiana solid waste facilities. Ninety percent of that waste came from the Chicago area. Figure 16. Annual Waste Imports by State of Origin

Table 18 displays the amount of out-of-state waste received by Indiana’s permitted solid waste facilities by each reported waste type during 2007. Table 19 displays similar information from 1999 through 2007 for municipal and non-municipal waste. MSW landfills have consistently received most of the waste imported from other states. Table 18.

Figure 17 shows that municipal solid waste historically has accounted for the largest percentage of waste imports. However, non-municipal waste imports increased considerably between 1995 and 1998. This increase might have been due to imports of waste materials to be used as alternative daily

cover by landfills. Alternative daily cover amounts have not been included as waste in this report since 1999. In 2004 and 2005, increases were seen again in non-municipal waste imports, which was more than likely due to the closed landfill in Illinois.

Most of the out-of-state waste received by transfer stations was sent to Indiana MSW landfills for final disposal. However, these MSW landfills reported the origin of this out-of-state waste as the county in which the transfer station was located, rather than the state in which the waste originated, in accordance with IDEM guidance. (2) Out of state waste that was received by Indiana facilities then sent back out of state increased in 1994 to 13%. The percentage spiked in 1997 to 30% and again in 1998 to 45%. In 2000, the percentage significantly decreased to 14% and again in 2001 to an all time low of 3%. The percentage began increasing in 2002 and has been holding steady between 25% and 30% in the last couple of years. Through the years, the majority of the waste has been filtered through the Clark County Transfer Station.


Figure 18 shows the distribution of the disposal of out-of-state waste among Indiana solid waste facilities. Of the 25 facilities that received out-of-state waste during 2007, five (20%) disposed of 89%

of that waste. Ninety-one percent of the imported waste received by these five facilities was from Illinois. The other 20 facilities (80%) disposed of the remaining 11% of the imported waste.

Table 20 summarizes the annual amount of out-of-state waste received by Indiana’s solid waste facilities during 2007. Table 21 provides a detailed look at the amount of waste that these facilities received from each state. Although Indiana imports a considerable amount of solid waste, it also exports waste, primarily to

contiguous states. A brief discussion of waste exports was provided in the previous section on solid waste processing facilities (see page 27). The “2007 Solid Waste Facility Profiles” provides more detailed summaries of waste imports to landfills, incinerators, and transfer stations.

Remaining Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Capacity Beginning in 1996, MSW landfills are required to conduct an annual survey of the landfill between October 1 and December 31 of each year. The results of the survey go into creating a contour map that indicates the boundaries of the landfill as well as the elevation of the waste in-place within the boundaries of the landfill at the time of the survey. The contour maps are submitted to IDEM to determine remaining landfill capacity. Beginning in 2007, according to IAC 10-20-24 MSW landfills are required to conduct an annual survey between December 1 and March 31 of each year. Table 22 provides an overview of Indiana’s remaining MSW landfill capacity. The total Indiana landfill capacity in 2007 is the sum of the remaining capacity for all MSW landfills, estimated to be about 250.2 million cubic yards. The overall remaining landfill life is calculated by taking the total remaining capacity divided by the total waste received in 2007 (the current waste intake rate); which is estimated to be 15.25 years. The total acreage for MSW landfills in 2007 is estimated to be about 3,600 acres. In 2006, the total remaining capacity for all Indiana MSW landfills was estimated to be about 245.5

million cubic yards. The remaining life for all Indiana MSW landfills (based upon the 2006 volume of waste received) was estimated to be 14.22 years. The average landfill life was 18.21 years. It is important to note the variability in both waste intake rate and remaining airspace available for waste intake among individual landfills. The remaining disposal life of a landfill depends on both factors. In the same way, Indiana’s total remaining disposal life depends on the sum of all landfill capacities and the total waste disposed in the state each year. The remaining disposal life of individual landfills varies greatly from one facility to the other, as evident in Table 23. This variation is due to three factors:

varying amount of waste received (intake rate) for each landfill,

age of the landfill, and

expansions made during the life of the

landfill.
